The $1 million Shadwell Travers is the feature race Saturday at Saratoga and features a competitive field of eleven including the Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, who breaks from the outside post. He most recently finsihed fourth in the Haskell Stakes behind Trappe Shot and First Dude, after stumbling at the start. Look for him to bounce back. The top five finishers from the Jim Dandy Stakes are back today, including Jim Dandy Winner A Little Warm, runner up Miners Reserve, third place finisher Afleet Express, and fourth place finisher Friend or Foe. Fly Down finished fifth in the Jim Dandy after checking in the stretch, so he may bounce back. Florida Derby winner and Kentucky Derby runner up Ice Box is back for another try but he performed poorly in the Haskell most recently, though he did hit the gate coming out. Afleet Again and Admiral Alex round out the field.
There are some very strong contenders in this race and jockeying them to help your VIPs predict the 2010 $1 Million Shadwell Travers will be great fun.
